FAQ Common Questions From Beginners Of course, yes. And for the ‘complicated stuff’ it just depends on how involved your needs are. DoctorLonghairs can deal with hair and scalp needs refreshingly easily on all lengths and levels, and at the same time is very capable of some pretty high-end and long-lasting results. At any speed, even basic care is going to thrill you, and you’ll be glad you asked. ‘How much’ isn’t the issue like in typical salons; you’ll be relieved that you came in for a trim. It’s natural after great results to want to take with you some of our ‘basic’ shampoo and conditioner (and Flexipick). You can stay at that basic-needs level if you choose, no problem at all. You’ll still find the distinctive Longhairs brand of perfection present for even your simplest needs. Oh, and complicated? Somebody has to do it, and there’s nobody better than LML to do it – and it’s not really that complicated, it just so happens MagicPacking or ‘kitting’ may or may not be for you. No not at all. they are sorted by not only by size by hair-type/condition and complexity. Duo means two items: Shampoo, Conditioner(and essential for best results) her flaxen smooth seamless Flexipick. Perhaps this may work with chemical products and product that need such help – we don’t. By following our directions for our products with our products, you will get very smooth hair that is staying smooth without a forced hand. This might also work where the product’s chemicals (natural or created), regardless of temperature, will spread what good oils (processed or emulsified) might happen to be in the product. I guess it also depends on the nature theory (if there is one) and strength of what they might be using. Using lukewarm water with cold water rinse certainly isn’t a long hair ‘do or die’ rule of any sort, and we don’t keep this in mind prior to making any product for long hair just to make it in the way certain people want to use it. There is no general rule that we look for to follow when we manufacture except success. I do know you cannot move butter or good oils around properly like you think you are doing with lukewarm or cool water unless there is a high detergent value to do the job. The oils in our products and the nature of it are not such chemicals, but designed to melt at temperatures higher than body temperature (there are many reasons for this) without the use of the chemicals or preprocessing that an average consumer may not understand. Our products sufficiently ‘open’ to accept when they are supposed to, ‘penetrate and close’ on their own when they are supposed to; it’s programmed in – unlike ‘outside’ products that coat the hair or are simple natured in design. Have you ever heard of anyone doing a “cold oil treatment”? Tips like this one, found here and there, are not speaking of Longhairs® products at all, and are only tips for common products that produce the needs from which these kinds of tips arise from. Doing this with the water temperature with our products is definitely going to meddle with the way our products were designed to work. In other words what you need to do for other products, our products do for you, if you provide the environment it needs to naturally do so and not interfere in such a way. The need to apply outside information on our perfectly well-instructed product is indeed overkill. There is no need here for outside tips that are contrary to manufacturer’s directions. There is no need to make a product that feeds into these theories, as we are beyond making a generic product work as that is backwards thinking. Doing other directions is like not following directions on a cake mix, because you deemed them not normal – and then you complain because it came out less than right, after you changed the clear instructions. The scalp’s natural oil production system has properties that need to be activated and circulation created or allowed, so your body can properly cleanse it. (Plugged up scalps have solidified oil in there that goes rancid; this is often why some people’s long hair up close smells like an old boot and their hairline on face and backs are pimply.) Any good oil, including your scalp’s own oil (if it is clean and not rancid) needs to flow and not be solidified into waxy plugs. (Honest… we have no conspiracy with your hot water provider.) Our stuff works best with our instructions, because the instructions are made for the product – not because we never checked around or forgot to ask what hoops people need to go through to make some things do their job. Our clients’ hair is long, healthy, growing, problem and odor-free, and our clients love to learn. Why mess with success?! Not at all. Please DO YOUR BEST to wash on a daily basis, but LML will understand so long as we know you are trying. Better to miss a day than to not even try to do it daily. Trying always counts here; nobody is perfect but it’s close enough if you are making the effort. Uniquely made by the guru long hair expert – but can be used on short hair too! There are many criteria adhered to in the making of our special for long and growing hair lines, but it will be the best you have ever used on any hair. It is very, very different from other product lines on the market; it can be used daily, while most directions and “rules of thumb” are for harsher products and do not apply to ours – that better your hair the more you use it. Use it often! Yes, of course! If it is impossible to morning wash, then you will have to wash evenings. Do try to be consistent whatever you decide you must do. The body naturally cleanses in the morning, so it’s good to go with that; it kinda messes it about in the evening, but better than not using our stuff at all. If you swim, washing twice a day is totally OK – if you want, twice as nice!!! NO. Our clients don’t worry about such ideas. Some types of women’s competitive ideas make others want to ‘even the score’. Don’t buy into it! The opinionators will just have to try harder on themselves, especially if you are naturally more attractive to the opposite sex visually AND as an independent thinker! If you can’t stand the heat… get back in the kitchen? A little help within reason, but hairstyling is NOT included in products prices. In fact, support was not calculated into any of our products prices, but she helps because of your common goal. The Non-Salon appointment is how and where members’ hair is done. Not only is it a little difficult to manage, it is unrealistic to think of doing hairstyling via the internet. Our clients developing shiny, full, soft, hair growth seem to have no problems dealing with their new and abundant hair. If your hair-past catches up with you, it is essential you see LML to get your hair set up longterm properly. (Seeing LMLonghairs exclusively as well as MagicPacking actually makes you a Platinum Longhairs® MagicPack Member, regardless of how long you can last between appointments here.) Save on reordering, help the environment, and save on postage by refilling when you come in – nevermind being safe from repeating localized ‘hair-accidents’. Those handy hair places are not to be frequented between LML visits; it is not necessary. And what is the point if it would not be done right? I don’t feel it is; here’s why: I am concerned about your being exposed to elecromagnetic fields around electronics at night, especially around the head (e.g. cellphones or any electricity) while it is plugged in, turned on or switched off. It’s bad for your cells, and your sleep pattern. Let’s try to substitute something else, same effect. The All-Canadian Touque Solution: plastic grocery bag (decal facing out) then slip a nice thick touque over it – tooooasty!! This is a little louder till it settles in, but use a shiny-side-in mylar heat reflector blanket from emergency vehicle kits wrapped over a plastic bag, preferably a clear bag, and then a terry or cloth surgery cap, like a j-cloth material, over it all. It will heat up WAY hotter but WAY safer than a heat cap for overnight. A heat cap can be used safely by heating it up on your head, then unplugging it for the duration of the time. See our Sleepy Longhairs page for more! One of the reasons Louise Marie Longhairs went to all the effort to create and share her products is just to make you happy, and if you are happy we are happy too! When you’re that different, you have to! Our instructions were designed to produce the very best results (if you came to the studio, she would show you just how wonderfully these instructions do work) but until then enjoy what you are doing if it makes your hair happy. If not then let’s work on you understanding the instructions better, because the results are entirely reliant upon the method of use. You alone are responsible for the results you get; we just provide the tools. If you want to not follow the given directions just for the sake of not being willing to open your mind, that would be a whole other story. If you love it, well, you must be doing something right and here is credit for it. If you don’t, you know what you need to do. Book online, fill out the More About You form, and always feel welcome to bring pictures that are of interest to you! If you’re coming from a long way it’s recommended but not imperative to have a head start on learning how to use things properly. If you’re getting colouring or highlighting by us then yes, for 2 weeks prior to your appointment for best results. Quickly dash that area of your hair or the Flexipick itself under the shower stream and continue. Repeat this little trick as needed. It removes foam when your hair has finished eating the good out of that conditioner. It also rinses necessary new conditioner from above that rough point onto that needy area. For detangling, keep the Flexipick horizontal and the hair mid-prong. Quick (10 minutes) meet n greet moment and pickup some great products days are booked in advance. She works best in an organized fashion (we all need her!) so if at all possible, please call first before showing up, and arrange this time so she can be ready for you. This is not a total consultation but a quick look and recommendation of products. If basic beginners products are bought, useful samples are often also shared at this point. A hands-on treatment or a step-by-step product tutorial (if you need one, most don’t ) appointment can always be set up from there. Normally if you are just getting products a free checkup in 2 weeks time is offered after you’ve tried to do the routines on your own. Perhaps for a few pointers on use, or perhaps to add steps and oils if you are ready. Some people find they can do start-ups on their own using our websites, and thus save the newbie session costs, though everyone is different; some people need to always be shown hands-on in great detail. (You usually know which you are.) Lessons for using products can be arranged for a session day, people fly in for day or halfday. (Tuesday through Sundays) and booked in advance. Best case scenarios? Local : It is easiest and often recommended for this particular type of client to first pick up what was used on them at the time of a scalp treatment or newbie hands-on appointment.

Some but not all trim treatment or consultations appointments or sessions are charged hourly and an quote before commencing is given first in person. She specializes in this actually – in completely turning that hair of yours around and teaching you how to love and care for your still-growing hair. It will amaze you how much difference you’ll see in your hair, growth condition, health and appearance in just one visit. You’ll be glad you came! In fact, she can’t wait to help you! More people have this problem than you could imagine, so let’s not waste any more time! Are you ready? Let’s begin to grow great hair; yes, even YOU can!! Longhairs® trademarked quality hair therapy, scalp therapy, split end therapy, and even regular trims are very different situations that any salons’ quick-fix is a minimal snip off the ends – or cutting off the length you are working so hard to increase. Typical salon trims are often going to cause breakage, wear, and a need for the hair to try to correct itself, never mind the stress on hairs and hairlines. What she’s seen coming in on her first-timers proves this. With Longhairs® long hair services there are certain things that need to be done more than ‘just so’ and these tasks she does is NOT common knowledge. There are things that need to be aligned, coaxed, shaped, and trained into the hair, and you need to trust Ms Louise Marie herself at your appointment as to what it will take to maintain the path you both have decided on. Most hair salons pursue the opposite of what long hair actually needs, positioning the timing of their menial ‘dustings’ in order to make a constant flow of money – and so often removing all the growth that you’d gained since your last visit. Worse yet, some flash-in-the-pan new-idea long hair places are just cashing in on fads, or can be quite shockingly self-serving and strangely creepy in their motives. Meanwhile, LMLonghair will do fascinating things, like putting in self-stimulating lines, building up strength, doing special angles to prevent frizz, encourage or discourage thickness, provide style, speed up grow-ins or grow-outs, alignments, re-alignments, dusting, and trimming. As well, checkups and free bangs trims are often included in the regular course of your visit. Clients who must travel long distances can and will be set up so her work lasts as long as needed between visits, without clients doing any other trims in between – observing the motto: LML or Nothing Because the nature of our products are so different than other lines, ours need to be used together for the best results. Our shampoos and conditioners (link opens new tab) were carefully and specifically made for each other, and interact together like a marriage or match made in heaven, therefore they are sold together. Are you decidedly, categorically DRY? Dry hair, as far as the hair products marketing racket goes, is a selling category (a symptom rather) and not a permanent condition. The mass-market products sell you a product that keeps you IN that category, so they can continue to market to your type. ‘Dry hair’ CAN BE and is fixed all the time by our line, being the opposite of what you are used to. Longhairs® products bring hair to normal, no matter where you started. We do not treat your current condition to keep it that way. The ‘dry hair’ oxymoron is like ‘hungry people’ – once they are fed, ARE they still hungry people? No. With our stuff, you get progression to normal, and it takes as many different paths to get there as there are reasons for dry hair ending up titled as such. According to the market, almost everyone’s hair is categorized as dry, or rather it is dried out and with their products it stays that way. Our clients who use our products properly don’t get dry-feeling hair. Our clients and users don’t have ‘dry hair’ because the condition is corrected and the client is retrained. We move forward from there. See more below if you don’t understand this reasoning. Before you read on, we are MANY years past being some sort of ‘theory’. We have 2 choices: to ‘market’ to you using your/their language, or to tell you the truth. Frankly our clients are very tired of marketing. Face it, watch the news: people are in love with sensationalism. Click-words sell products, but they won’t fix your problem. What IS the problem? I ask you, can you be more specific? But can you? Is it ‘dry’ or does it feel terrible and that’s the definition you know. Market teaches you that terrible feeling hair is you not them; that’s your hair type. Have you ever used a ‘dry hair’ category of shampoo or conditioner and had it cure it? I suspect not. Is it washing that makes the hair ‘dry’? With other stuff very likely. Depends what you use AND how you use it, both. Try not washing it, it gets more dry. Myth One, blown out of the water. If it’s repelling water, does that make it ‘dry’? You bet. Do people who swim in clean, fresh water every day get dry hair? No. Why is it that 99% of people out there have ‘dry hair’. Dry hair products and decidedly dry hair thinking, doesn’t accomplish a single thing. Perhaps that’s all there is out there; in fact it is all there is out there – that’s why you are here. So let’s say the dryness is not an issue – oh but… but… it’s a general sell-word and people use it a lot. It’s not a constructive description of what may be happening to your hair. What else would, you ask? Try explaining it, think outside the box. What makes you think it is dry? Try this: do you have symptoms? Yes, we can fix those things; but not illness, dryness, sleeplessness, cluelessness, fatness, skinnyness, hungriness – that one you know is malnutrition. But is malnutrition not eating right? not eating often enough? or simply hungriness? It is a symptom. Words are not fixable without learning to work with detail. Is it ‘dry’ in the shower? No – with our system water is your hair’s friend. So was it ‘dry’ when you were a child, ‘dry’ as an adolescent when you had pimples? Is your skin ‘dry’? Is your hair ‘dry’? Is your scalp ‘dry’? Is it ‘dry’ with oil on it? Is it ‘dry’ after weeks of no washing? Is it dry… Try to realize, it’s not grease or oil it needs; oily hair attracts dirt and grit, and grit wears out your hair and gives split ends. You know that doesn’t fix it. Longhairs® does, but we have to fix you first. Turn off the T.V. thinking. Second, realize the bachelor’s rule: dirty socks wear out faster than clean ones. Third, the longer you go between washings, the drier your hair and scalp will be. If you use Longhairs® it gets more moist (when used as she directs). We have done surveys, and 99% of the population thinks they are drying up. Who do they blame? Try it – ask them. Is it the products, methods, or myths? And did it help? No, I’m sure. Are they eating no fats? Don’t think so. Are they using shampoo that is not Longhairs®? Most definitely. Targeting one myth: would washing your hair daily make it ‘dry’? Does washing your face or brushing your teeth make them ‘dry’? It’s what you get and what you do with it. Does watering plants daily make them dry? Does hanging out with friends lead you into trouble and cause you to get no sleep? Only some do. Does sex make you pregnant? Does more sex make you more pregnant? Does a little sex make you less pregnant? If you like something, you’ll want to do it more often. You’ll make the time. Now let’s get back to shampoo: Is oily hair less ‘dry’?….. I persist… Does eating 6 meals a day make you fat, simply that? Ask a hypoglycemic, or a regular person on the same eating system. Will one meal a day of cake will make you fatter? Washing with harsh crap WILL manage to make your hair drier for sure! We have a line-up waiting for us to wash their hair 75 times with Longhairs®, and condition it a mere once, and it feels heavenly. That could prove my point: it would feel softer and more moist than ever. If it is not drying it out, one can continue doing it. It will be good, keep it up. I’ve almost made my point, but will you believe me? No. If you believe what you hear from the herd, you can let your hair get greasy/drying out all the time and see how sad you’ll feel. It could start to smell too. It’s not necessary to think long hair is supposed to be always oily to the tips. Our hair is maintained in a different manner, and you smell fresh and you shine!! If something is made a certain way, say like our long hair stuff, just think – we wouldn’t be making it for this long if it was drying out hair! Think outside the box. We wouldn’t advise you use our products a certain way if the results weren’t true. Think out of the box. If you want dry hair, use that ol’ market dry hair-making shampoo. If you want to keep dry hair, don’t listen to Longhairs®. That’s right, if you want dry hair, don’t listen. Use our stuff as directed. Don’t change the directions of a good thing because you ‘thought’ the instructions didn’t pertain to you, or doesn’t sound cookie-cutter typical. Don’t misuse our wonderful stuff in order to feed the will to fail. We did not omit testing on your individual hair type. Many years later – and no, all the clients here don’t have hair exactly like Ms LML, so don’t mess with success. Learn how to learn. Technique is one thing (it matters in sex too) and the facts and then practice are another. Here, if you don’t use it right, it’s like sex; it may not feel as right as it could. It’s not the equipment at fault, and it’s not the product. Don’t bet your money on staying dry-haired around here; you could lose the bet. This technique does not apply to other product lines. Other products will still likely ruin your hair if used as often as once a week – we are sooooo different!! Long hair is not ‘dry’ hair. But it does show you the linitations of what they can do. Dry hair shampoo doesn’t fix ‘dry’ hair; people do. Longhairs® does all the time, every time. And diet foods are not for those who are slim. Think about it; hungry people are not hungry when you feed them well and often. And hair? Don’t deny yourself all the pampering of 20 minutes a day. For hungry hair, no oil masking malnutrition. MagicPack feeds you well. 95% of ‘dry’ hair that comes in is incorrectly labeled and treated before coming to Longhairs®. Come and get your situation corrected, regardless what it is called. If you want it fixed, we are here. If not, sorry about your hair’s luck; maybe someday you’ll have lucky hair that gets brought here. First, let us know you’re coming. A) You can pick up a Beginners Kit (link opens new tab) in person and try on your own to learn how to use online with the tutorials. or B) You can pick up a Beginners kit in person and learn online with the tutorials along with a near-future appointment booked for a hands-on lesson. or C) You can pick up a Beginners kit in person during a hands-on lesson and treating appointment, so you can be shown first before you start using the products, which helps you learn the feel of what you are aiming for. Includes a free follow-up visit. (most effective) or D) You can come and pick up shampoo, conditioner, and Flexipick in any size, review the directions online and pop in for a free checkup or how-to appointment if needed. You decide; whatever way you learn best will be fine with us. I try to teach the client to learn to recognize ‘satisfaction’ by using what it takes. Everyone’s hair is different and has different times and phases where it needs to be respected and listened to – catered to. Seriously, if you must measure your conditioners, I’d say a good tablespoon or more of #10-A or #10-B’s and less of #17 Lilith. Two tablespoons or more of #19, and around three of #9. But really, use enough to feel optimum texture, smooth and silky all over including scalp, and satisfied. Then, unless it’s #19, Fexipick it throgh before rinsing. Good question, and the answer is YES! I call that a re-juicing or the Double-Dip Trick. This is how you do the Double-Dip Trick: The longer, older, and over-processed bottom-half of your hair will gratefully eat up an extra smoothing of conditioner just because of the nature of it. So do the Double-Dip Trick just before rinsing it all out. Most hair will benefit from a Double-Dip Trick for moisture, strengthening, smoothing, and extra-good closure, and it may help towards a no frizzies juicy shine. Double-Dip Trick allows perfect arrangement of molecules after residual shampoo was squished out. Always keep in mind that leaving first application on to soak in for a while before Flexipicking is NOT as effective as leaving first application on to soak in after Flexipicking. If you’re going to let it sit, wait until after you’ve Flexipicked it, and after the Double-Dip Trick if you are using it. Sure, I’ve heard it used for a rather different feeling, not as shiny and soft – I’d rather the #10-Bs myself. I can see it being used to slick hair back to dry hard, instead of gel or hairspray, for anyone, not just curly. I’ve tried it on clients myself. With this one, if it feels good, do it – but watch for symptoms! There are beneficial effects from doing this one, and if you like it, use it with discretion. A great sunscreen for the hair in sun ‘n surf, or in pools under a swimcap. Tip: do it on very wet hair and scrunch it in, starting at the bottom. Don’t comb or pick again afterwards. Scrunching is done to saturate #19 into ends and then massaging up the shaft to blend it to match the healthy hairs, but day-old feeling. Absolutely! There are no restrictions for use, other than that the comb you use for scritching needs to be one of the finer ones (regardless of the thickness of your hair). The categories we use are just options – the most common usage of the different combs. Everything clients’ and members’ long haired hearts desire, in a healthy, organic way. Longhairs® complete system works as hard as clients and members do, providing for all the needs of growing it in right and maintaining your beautiful, healthy hair.

By ordering and maintaining the Longhairs® Hairgasm® MagicPack® (link opens new tab) and keeping it up-to-date. You will need to fill out the More About You Form with as much useful detail as you can (more info is going to help her help you more). You will be asked to send over some photos, which will be stored in your personal file and only seen by Louise Marie. These photos should be of sufficient quality to allow her to zoom in, and should include: Yes, but #12 Protein Spray is only needed once in a while, for before or after seriously damaging chemical work (such as relaxing, foil highlighting, etc.), or once every few months on newly processed hair as a reinforcer, or when Louise Marie recommends it for a specific situation (hence the name “Prescription Spray”). Never use #12 after #13-A Blisstips Oil. This spray is like an emergency kit item; not used regularly, but when you do need it, you won’t have to wait while we send it. Mist sparingly for coverage of fragile areas (or squirt into end tuft) that need proteins replaced because they have been somehow traumatized. Favorite uses for #12 Protein Prescription Spray: You should be pre-treating (that’s the overnight one on dry hair, where you wash as usual in the morning) from the bottom up by working in your pre-treat product – massaging upwards, and then smoothing in a downward motion, layering with water. Focus on needy areas and ends (which are always needy) first and go up as far as you need to; there is no need to pre-treat your scalp. Try to learn how to tell by feel where extra is needed and not over help areas where that extra care is not necessary. Re-treating (after the shower on wet hair) is done in the same way, from the bottom up. (No need to re-wet hair or apply in layers.) Some of you are applying way too much pre-treat, and too high up, not knowing why we do it. The idea is to end up with an even texture all over, adding nutrients where wear has taken place (usually old ends, and maybe a bit on the longer surfaces if needed). Definitely do not pre-treat indiscriminately all the way up the head – is the hair fried there? old? in need of restructuring? Your scalp’s pre-treat is #18 SOS Scalp Oil just before your shower. Run your hands through your hair until your fingers stop, near the bottom few inches. That is the top of where you’ll apply pre-treat. Dampen your hair, then take a dab of your pre-treat and massage it into hair ends and smooth downwards. Move up bit by bit, layering with water, until you can’t feel a border between above and below, tapering out. Finish with a final layer of water. Don’t forget to check our Re-Treating/Pre-Treating chart to make sure your efforts are rewarded! When you worked out before, did you feel the need to wash your hair? If so, do the whole kit-n-kaboodle, with the #18 SOS (it’s fine used on a sweaty scalp). If you don’t want to have a full shower, simply use #26 Chillout to detox post-workout and wait to wash in the morning. The #18 and my shampoos were made for each other, so wash as often as you want – provided you keep the routines together. If you’re MagicPacking, a day is a day is a day; no matter how many times you washed, it’s still one rotation.FAQ Common Questions From Beginners
